This book is definitely the most in depth book on environmental nutrition there is to date. It delves into the many issues relating to environmental nutrition including pesticides and other food contaminants, organic foods, sustainable agriculture, and the governmental surveillance of food and environmental toxins. It not only discusses food toxins, toxins in the U.S. food supply, and the impact of toxins on the body but also addresses current nutrition practices and their lack of connection with then environment. The book also discusses in depth the chemical structures of pesticides, food additives, and other substances and how the chemical structures relate to the compounds' reactions. Nevertheless, the book is written in such a way as to be understood by all. This is an excellent read for the layperson and scientist alike!

As a Psychologist, I believe mealtimes are sacred events. Family bonding takes place and culture is often passed to the next generation at this event. After reading this book, the author would have you believe all food in America is poisoned and will kill you. I agree with the first reviewer, save your money and don't buy the book.

The author supports his thesis with weak scientific arguments. I wish I had saved my money and not bought this book.
